THE George Bartzokas stated he was satisfied, all things considered, for the victory of Olympiakos over Panioniosthe breaths he gave to players but also the return of some injured.
“We wanted to rest Milutinov and Sasha, but also rejoin Walkup and Fournier who had been out for about 20 days. They need minutes to find their rhythm to play on Friday in Munich. Panionios played much better than the previous matches, without pressure and I think he will find his way. We had to manage the game with some gains for the new features we have in our team. The level in the league is better this year. The Greek league won’t be a walk in the park against these teams, especially away from home“, he emphasized and added:
“Defensively we have issues. When Olympiacos scores as many points as Baskonia and Maccabi, without having many regionals, it looks like we have plenty of attacking talent. We have defensive issues, the absences of Walkup and McKissick are significant. Maybe the players, seeing that they have 90 games in front of them, don’t want to go in so hard. We are becoming a bit like the NBA, but the difference is that here every game counts. You have to be ready to follow because the bar is high“, he added.
